Sea Girt Lighthouse and Public Library (New Jersey)
Unused card with artwork by Mabel T. Burr. In light of the recent (as we type this) damage from Hurricane Sandy, the caption on this older card is prophetic: “Complete washouts of the beach in the past have brought the waves up to the very foundations of the building.” The lighthouse itself dates from 1896 and endured only minor damage during Sandy. Grade: 2
